In 2017 I had open heart surgery to remove my pericardium that was constricting my heart. The day after surgery my left lung collapsed. I was wide awake as the doctor cut my chest and inserted a tube to help me breathe.
Two days after that I went into respiratory failure with hypoxia and had systemic inflammatory response syndrome. They called my mom to the hospital in the middle of the night because they didn’t know if I’d make it.
I was in so much pain, I couldn’t breathe, and I was hallucinating. I truly thought I was going to die that night. I fought like hell to be here and still have to fight to be here every single day.
